Exciting Progress in Peatland Restoration: A New Milestone for The Flow Country -

We’re thrilled to share some exciting developments from The Flow Country, where work has officially begun on our second peatland restoration project. This initiative marks a significant step forward in our ongoing efforts to protect and restore one of Scotland’s most vital ecosystems.

Restoring 410 Hectares of Peatland

The new project is taking place on a farming and sporting estate, where we will be restoring approximately 410 hectares of degraded peatland. Healthy peatlands play a crucial role in combating climate change by storing carbon, regulating water systems, and providing a habitat for unique biodiversity.

As with many peatland areas in Scotland, this site has been affected by human activities, particularly artificial drainage systems that disrupt its natural processes. To reverse this, we’re employing a variety of restoration techniques. By restoring these peatlands, we’re not only helping to revive an essential ecosystem but also contributing to a wider range of environmental benefits.
